    4So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

    5for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that `are' through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

    6and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
